Method

Cinnamon swirl loaf

1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160C. Lightly grease a 10x20cm loaf pan.
2.Sift flours, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt together into a large bowl. Stir sugar through.
3.In a jug, combine milk and oil. Make a well in the flour mixture. Stir in milk mixture gently until combined (do not over mix). Set aside 5 minutes.
4.Dust a sheet of baking paper with gluten-free flour. Spread dough to a 20 x 25cm rectangle. In a small bowl mix extra sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over dough.
5.Roll up from one long side, using the baking paper to guide and a long palette knife to help roll dough and enclose filling. Trim baking paper and transfer to pan.
6.Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, covering with foil if over browning. Cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7.In a small bowl, combine icing sugar, butter and boiling water, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Drizzle icing over cooled bread. Serve sliced.

If liked replace the cinnamon filling with strawberry jam or selection of mixed, chopped dried fruit.
